Hillary Clinton testified for six hours before a House committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. She said she had no information about Epstein or his crimes and called the questioning repetitive and political theater.
Other developments included the resignation of the World Economic Forum's chief over Epstein ties and Bill Gates apologizing to his foundation's staff for his relationship with Epstein. A report found dozens of FBI records, including interviews with an alleged Trump accuser, were missing from the Justice Department's public release of Epstein files.
In the United Kingdom, King Charles's brother Andrew was arrested and released in connection with the Epstein probe. New Mexico reopened an investigation into Epstein's ranch, and several universities faced protests over faculty members' ties to Epstein.
